What is the Erasmus+ programme?

Erasmus+ is the EU’s funding programme for Education, Training, Youth, and Sport. First launched in 1987, the current programme (2021-2027) provides approximately €9 billion of funding for collaborative projects, as well as €20 billion for individual mobility grants for teachers and learners. Most projects are carried out in consortia of universities and other organisations from 3 or more countries, with funding per project ranging from €30,000 to €4 million depending on the Call, the duration of the project, and the number of partners.

The aim of Erasmus+ is to support, through life-long learning, the educational, professional, and personal development of people in education, training, youth, and sport, to contribute to sustainable growth, quality jobs, and social cohesion, to drive innovation, and to strengthen European identity and active citizenship.
